Sounds Like
"Trenholm specializes in that rare form of music that bridges the gap between varied genres and yet still manages to sound like Jill Trenholm. Songs like the peppy "You Bet She'll Drop It," full of "cha-cha-chas" and quasi-flamenco strumming, could work just as well in a downtown jazz bar as in a Green Valley coffeehouse." Jarrett Keene / Las Vegas Weekly

It was a treat to meet you the other night, and thank you for the kind words. Your tunes sound great and I look forward to catching you live very soon. We should also get together and compare notes about some of these out-of-town venues sometime.
Yea i had such a great time! Especially the mini jam session on the bus on the way there. That was awesome. =] Thanks so much for inviting us! You sounded amazing!
